Who is the addressee for an OPREP-3 Pinnacle?

• A. National Military Command Center (NMCC)
• B. Joint Chiefs of Staff
• C. White House Situation Room
• D. Pentagon Communications Center

Answer: (A)

OPREP-3 Pinnacle is the DoD’s top-priority incident reporting format designed to alert national leadership about events with national security significance. The addressee for this report is the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon’s 24/7 crisis hub that serves as the primary focal point for receiving such urgent reports. The NMCC validates and ranks the report and then disseminates it to senior decision-makers as needed, ensuring rapid access for the highest levels of command and, when appropriate, routing to White House agencies and other key offices. While the White House Situation Room and other components are involved in the broader response network, the initial recipient and central hub for OPREP-3 Pinnacle is the NMCC.
